Ostional Volunteer Program

Everything about this trip was amazing. The coordinators guide you every step of the way and make the whole process a breeze. Arriving at the station and getting into the work is very rewarding and the staff are all wonderful, friendly people. The work can be tough but the reward is worth every bit of it, as well as the friends you make while you're there. I can't recommend this trip enough, if you love turtles, tropical weather,or conservation work, I highly recommend spending some time in Ostional.

Pros
  • Sea Turtles
  • Food
  • Staff
Cons
  • Hot humid weather

Teach Camp Thailand

My trip cordinator, Callum was very helpful and supportive in getting me ready for my trip and answering the many questions i had which made me feel at ease as i was very nervous.

My first week of orientation wss fun and unforgettable and the remaining weeks was a great experience. I had a lot of fun at the camp and felt a sense of accomplishment as the kids responsed well to the experience and really learned English well because of the activities I did with them.

I am so happy that i was immersed in the Thai culture.

Pros
  • Support and Information
  • Experience
  • Culture
Cons
  • Disorganised at times
  • Toilet paper & Hand soap not available in most public toilets
  • Waiting time is longer than announced (Thai Time)

Global Travel

My trip to the Vervet Monkey Foundation was absolutely amazing! I learned so much, had a great time, worked hard but fun and the staff was absolutely amazing! It was the trip of a lifetime! I definitely will go back again. The day to day running of the operation is so organized and the work rotation is done so that you get to experience everything. The staff really wants to know what areas of work you really like and also if there is something that you don't like or have trouble with they will not schedule you for that area. They want their volunteers to learn, experience it all and most of all enjoy their time at the foundation.

Pros
  • Everything is organized for you once you have chosen your option
  • The description of the trip and accommodations was super accurate
  • It was everything I expected and more - I will do again in the next year or so!
Cons
  • I have absolutely no cons it was fantastic!

Global Work & Travel were fantastic help when it came to plannning my trip to Canada. Eimear was great help and was always there to answer any questions I had about the visa, accomdation etc and was always available to go on a call to discuss these matters.
Overall I've gotten great support and have been welcomed by the team and meeting other travellers who are also travelling solo has added a lot of value to the experience.

I would strongly recommend going with Global Work & Travel to anyone whos thinking of coming to Canada.

  • Getting the chance to visit top tourist attractions like Grouse Mountain etc
  • Meeting new people on my travels
  • Trying Canadain dishes such as poutine

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
One thing I would do differently would be to organise accomdation for when my stay at the hostel is up before I left for Canada

Comforting

My experience with Global work and travel was great, they were a warm and welcoming team that really made it easy for myself to settle into the new country. Eimear was always there to answer any questions we had, and would make sure we had everything we needed to make sure our departure and arrivals went as smoothly as possible. It was also great to meet like minded travellers from around the world that had singed up with Global work and travel.. just knowing that you’re not alone and there are people on the same boat as you is really comforting feeling and can add so much more value and excitement to your trip away from home.

Pros
  • Meeting new people from all around the world
  • Saves the stress of independent travelling
  • Constant support from the team and community
Cons
  • N/A

Amazing!! Would 100% do it again!

My experience was awesome! The team were always very responsive and made everything in my trip from NZ to Canada flow smoothly.
Eimear was always willing to help and happy to give advice and answer all my questions! And it never felt like I was asking too many questions.
I was excited to get to Canada but had no idea which area to choose, I knew I loved the outdoors and nature - and where I got paired with, it really hit the nail on the head!
Overall, I've felt so supported and welcomed by the team and meeting other travellers in the same boat as me helped add a lot of value to the experience. 10/10!!

Pros
  • Felt very supported and comfortable
  • Helpful
  • New experience
Cons
  • None
  • None

Global Work and Travel (Revelstoke)

Working with Global and my support coordinator Eimear was absolutely amazing, if you’re unsure whether to go through a company I would definitely recommend Global!
Revelstoke is a small little ski town but with lots going on in the summer (like, lots!) it’s perfect for a good work/life balance and a quiet place to enjoy the ideal Canadian weather!
I would say that it’s not the easiest to travel out of if you don’t have a car. There are bus services but they don’t run too regularly. It’s an amazing place for meeting people from all across the world because Revelstoke is such a sought after destination!

Pros
  • Opportunity to learn snow sports!
  • Meeting people from around the world
  • Good work/life balance
Cons
  • Not easy to travel out of (revy) without own transport

Mr Frank Morrison

Life in Canada has been an awesome and epic experience!
Have had amazing help from global and Eimear (they make everything so smooth and easy).
Never thought a working holiday would give me so many memories, friendships and joy.
Can only recommend anyone thinking about a next adventure to take this one and go for it.
If not sure what to do this or next year, I would definitely say that doing this will make you stronger physically and mentally with challenges that come through living in another country.

Pros
  • Well supported throughout your trip
  • Living in a new country made so easy
  • Making friendships and memories
Cons
  • If wanting to travel excessively, be aware that some jobs require 40 hours minimum a week
  • Some staff housing may be a tad dated
  • Solo travellers without a driving licence will need to make good friendships

Global work and travel

Global has helped me obtain my visa, sort my flights and source me a job. Eimear my travel director has been an amazing help throughout my time in Canada so far and has checked up on me about my job and offered any answers to questions I have had. Eimear has also helped me look for my winter job even after I’ve arrived and been here for 4 months. This working holiday for the short part has helped me gain confidence, experience a new way of living and meet incredible people. Thank you Global!!!!!

Pros
  • Meet new people
  • Gain confidence
  • See and experience a new part of the world
